Notethat, the inventor provides the accompanying drawings and the followingdescription in order that those skilled in the art adequately understandthe present technology and does not intend to limit the subject matterdescribed in the claims by the accompanying drawings and the followingdescription.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view illustrating a configuration of anon-vehicle display apparatus provided with a display unit according toan exemplary embodiment of the present technology.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the on-vehicle display apparatus of theexemplary embodiment, display unit 10 that projects an image is disposedin dashboard 21 of vehicle 20. Display unit 10 projects the image towind shield 22 that is a light transmissive display member disposed invehicle 20, thereby forming virtual image 40 of the image projected bydisplay unit 10 on an opposite side to a side of user 30 with respect towind shield 22. User 30 can visually perceive virtual image 40 of theimage projected by display unit 10 through wind shield 22. Centeroptical path L of the projected image is indicated by an alternate longand two short dashes line in FIG. 1, and also in the followingdescription, center optical path L is indicated by the alternate longand two short dashes line in the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration of the displayunit used in the on-vehicle display apparatus. FIG. 2 illustrates thedisplay unit with a housing of the display unit partially cut. FIG. 3 isan explanatory view illustrating a schematic configuration of thedisplay unit.

As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, in display unit 10 of the exemplaryembodiment, display device 12 that displays the image and a projectionoptical system that projects the image displayed on display device 12 towind shield 22 that is the display member are accommodated in housing 11including opening 11A. Therefore, user 30 can visually perceive virtualimage 40 of the image through wind shield 22 of the display member. User30 can visually perceive virtual image 40 of the image projected to windshield 22 of the display member from eye box 31 that is apreviously-assumed visually recognizable region.

Opening 11A of housing 11 constitutes an outgoing port of projectedlight of the projection optical system. In opening 11A of housing 11, alight transmissive cover such as a transparent resin sheet may bedisposed so as to close opening 11A.

For example, a liquid crystal display apparatus, an organic EL displayapparatus, and a plasma display are used as display device 12. Indisplay device 12, a predetermined image is displayed in a displayregion of display device 12 using an image signal input from displaycontroller 15.

The projection optical system includes first mirror 13 and second mirror14 in an optical path from display device 12 to wind shield 22 of thedisplay member. First mirror 13 is a first reflecting member disposed onthe side of display device 12. Second mirror 14 is a second reflectingmember disposed on the display member side, namely, on the side ofopening 11A through which the projected light for the image displayed ondisplay device 12 is output.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, in housing 11 of display unit 10, opening 11Athrough which the projected light is output includes first end 11B thatis formed in a rim on the side of first mirror 13 of opening 11A andsecond end 11C that is formed in a rim on the side of second mirror 14of opening 11A. Display device 12 is disposed such that the displayregion where the image is displayed is located on the side of firstmirror 13 with respect to straight line LS connecting first end 11B andsecond end 11C. Therefore, even if the light is incident on display unit10, the incidence of the light on the display region of display device12 can be restrained to form high-quality virtual image 40.

FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating a display surface of the displaydevice. As illustrated in FIG. 4, rectangular display device 12 includesrectangular display region 12A where predetermined image 16 is displayedusing the image signal input from display controller 15 and non-displayregion 12B that is formed around display region 12A. Image 16 displayedon display device 12 becomes a vertically- and horizontally-reversedimage with respect to virtual image 40 displayed by display unit 10.Marks (1), (2), (3), and (4) indicating positions of virtual image 40 inFIG. 3 and marks (1), (2), (3), and (4) indicating positions of image 16in FIG. 4 show that image 16 displayed on display device 12 becomes theinverted image with respect to virtual image 40 formed by display unit10.

Display controller 15 controls the image signal input to display device12, which enables the display positions of image 16 to be changed indisplay region 12A.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view illustrating the case that the displayposition of the image displayed on the display device is changed. FIG. 6is an explanatory view illustrating a change of the image projected bythe projection optical system by changing the display position of theimage displayed on the display device.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, display controller 15 controls the imagesignal, which enables the image displayed on display device 12 to bechanged from display position 16A to display position 16B. Note that,display positions 16A and 16B are not limited to the two places, butdisplay controller 15 can set display positions 16A and 16B to arbitrarypositions.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, when display position 16A of the image iscontrolled so as to be changed to display position 16B, the centeroptical path of the projected image is changed from L1 to L2, therebychanging the position of a viewpoint of user 30 who visually perceivesvirtual image 40.

That is, in display unit 10 of the exemplary embodiment, the positionwhere the image is displayed on display device 12 can be changed bycontrolling display controller 15, and user 30 can visually perceiveproper virtual image 40 according to the position of the viewpoint ofuser 30. For example, an attachment error of display unit 10 isgenerated when display unit 10 is installed on vehicle 20. In displayunit 10 of the exemplary embodiment, when display controller 15 iscontrolled to adjust the display position of the image displayed ondisplay device 12, user 30 can visually perceive proper virtual image40. Therefore, the attachment error can be corrected in display unit 10itself. Sometimes the position of the viewpoint of user 30 changes whenthe position of user 30 changes. In such cases, display controller 15 iscontrolled to adjust display positions 16A and 16B of image 16 displayedon display device 12, which allows user 30 to visually perceive propervirtual image 40.

In the display apparatus of the exemplary embodiment, desirably theviewpoint of user 30 is located in a substantial center of eye box 31that is the visually recognizable region in order that user 30 canvisually perceive proper virtual image 40. Accordingly, in the case thatthe position of the viewpoint of user 30 changes, display controller 15controls the display positions 16A and 16B of image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 to be moved such that the viewpoint of user 30 islocated in the substantial center of eye box 31 that is the visuallyrecognizable region.

According to an experimental result, desirably Vi/Is is greater than orequal to 2 and less than 7. Where Vi is a movement amount of the user'sviewpoint region and Is is a movement amount of image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12. More desirably, display controller 15 controls themovement amount of image 16 such that Vi/Is is greater than or equal to4 and less than 6. The experimental result showed that a distortion ofthe image observed in eye box 31 of user 30 increases when Vi/Is isgreater than or equal to 7, and eye box 31 that is the visuallyrecognizable region of user 30 is narrowed when Vi/Is is less than 2.

First mirror 13 that is the first reflecting member of the projectionoptical system is disposed above a display surface of display device 12,namely, immediately above display region 12A. In first mirror 13,reflection surface 13A that reflects the image displayed on displaydevice 12 has a convex shape of a free-form surface. Second mirror 14that is the second reflecting member of the projection optical system isdisposed immediately below wind shield 22 that is the display member onthe optical path on which the image is reflected by reflection surface13A of first mirror 13. In second mirror 14, reflection surface 14A thatfaces reflection surface 13A of first mirror 13 and projects the imageto wind shield 22 that is the display member has a concave shape of thefree-form surface.

The arrangements of display device 12, first mirror 13, and secondmirror 14 in display unit 10 will be described below.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view illustrating a positional relationshipamong the display device of the display unit, the first and secondmirrors, the user, and the virtual image. FIG. 8 is a plan viewillustrating a positional relationship of the image displayed on thedisplay device. Each symbol illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 is defined asfollows. An interval between display device 12 and first mirror 13 andan interval between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 mean a lengthof the center optical path.

D12: Interval between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 in centeroptical path

Lv: Length (T×tan θ) in longitudinal direction of virtual image 40

T: Distance from pupil of user 30 to virtual image 40 in center opticalpath

θ: Angle in a vertical direction when virtual image 40 is viewed frompupil of user 30

Yv: Length (corresponding to length in perpendicular direction ofvirtual image) in longitudinal direction of image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12

DL1: Interval between first mirror 13 and image 16 of display device 12

In the display apparatus provided with display unit 10 of the exemplaryembodiment, first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 are disposed such thatinterval D12 between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 satisfies0.2<D12/Lv<1.3. Desirably, first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 aredisposed such that interval D12 between first mirror 13 and secondmirror 14 satisfies 0.5<D12/Lv<1.0. More desirably, first mirror 13 andsecond mirror 14 are disposed such that an upper limit of interval D12between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 satisfies D12/Lv<0.9.

Therefore, user 30 can visually perceive sufficiently large virtualimage 40 in small-size display unit 10 having the small interval betweenfirst mirror 13 and second mirror 14. An increase in curvature of secondmirror 14 can be restrained, and a screen distortion of virtual image 40can easily be corrected. That is, in the exemplary embodiment,downsizing of display unit 10 can be provided.

In the display apparatus of the exemplary embodiment, a relationshipbetween length Yv in the longitudinal direction of image 16 displayed ondisplay device 12 and distance T in the center optical path from user 30to virtual image 40 satisfies 0.03<√(T×Lv)/Yv<0.22.

In the exemplary embodiment, when the relationship of √(T×Lv)/Yv betweenlength Yv in the longitudinal direction of image 16 and distance T fromuser 30 to virtual image 40 is larger than 0.22, the distance from user30 to virtual image 40 increases to enlarge the display apparatus. Onthe other hand, when the relationship of √(T×Lv)/Yv between length Yv inthe longitudinal direction of image 16 and distance T from user 30 tovirtual image 40 is smaller than 0.03, it is necessary to increase thelength in the longitudinal direction of image 16 displayed on displaydevice 12, which results in the enlarged display unit 10. That is, inthe exemplary embodiment, the downsizing of display unit 10 can beprovided, and the downsizing of the display apparatus provided withdisplay unit 10 can be provided.

In the display apparatus provided with display unit 10 of the exemplaryembodiment, interval D12 between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14and interval DL1 between first mirror 13 and image 16 of display device12 satisfy 3.0<D12/DL1. Desirably interval D12 between first mirror 13and second mirror 14 and interval DL1 between first mirror 13 and image16 of display device 12 satisfy 3.5<D12/DL1<10.0. More desirablyinterval D12 between first mirror 13 and second mirror 14 and intervalDL1 between first mirror 13 and image 16 of display device 12 satisfy5.0<D12/DL1<8.0.

In the exemplary embodiment, when interval D12 between first mirror 13and second mirror 14 and interval DL1 between first mirror 13 and image16 of display device 12 satisfy 3.0<D12/DL1, the increase in curvatureof second mirror 14 can be restrained, and the screen distortion ofvirtual image 40 can easily be corrected. That is, in the exemplaryembodiment, downsizing of display unit 10 can be provided.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory view illustrating a relationship between theeye box that is the user's visually recognizable region and the user'srecognizable virtual image in the exemplary embodiment. In FIG. 9,virtual image 40 is viewed from lower left position (3) of eye box 31.FIG. 10 is an explanatory view illustrating a state when the virtualimage is viewed from each of positions (1) to (5) of the eye box that isthe visually recognizable region in the exemplary embodiment. As usedherein, the visually recognizable region (eye box) means a region wherethe user can observe the whole virtual image without omission. In theexemplary embodiment, the visually recognizable region has a rectangularshape of 120 mm×35 mm.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, in the display apparatus of the exemplaryembodiment, the screen distortion is corrected in the whole region ofeye box 31 when virtual image 40 is viewed from positions (1) to (5) ofeye box 31. That is, user 30 can visually perceive good virtual image 40in the whole region of eye box 31.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration of a displayunit according to another exemplary embodiment used in the on-vehicledisplay apparatus. In housing 11 of display unit 10 of another exemplaryembodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 11, first light shielding section 11Dis provided at a rim on the side of first mirror 13 of opening 11Athrough which the projected light passes, and second light shieldingsection 11E having a shape cut and raised from housing 11 is provided ata rim on the side of second mirror 14 of opening 11A. First lightshielding section 11D includes first end 11B, and second light shieldingsection 11E includes second end 11C. Display device 12 is disposed suchthat the display region where the image is displayed is located on theside of first mirror 13 with respect to straight line LS connectingfirst end 11B and second end 11C.

Therefore, even if the light is incident on display unit 10, theincidence of the light on the display region of display device 12 can berestrained to form high-quality virtual image 40. Additionally, inanother exemplary embodiment, display unit 10 includes first lightshielding section 11D and second light shielding section 11E to enlargean opening area of opening 11A, so that a degree of freedom can beensured in design.

As described above, in the present technology, display unit 10 thatprojects the image is configured to accommodate display device 12 thatdisplays the image and the projection optical system that projects theimage displayed on display device 12 to the display member in housing 11including opening 11A through which projected light is output. Theprojection optical system includes first mirror 13 disposed on the sideof display device 12 and second mirror 14 disposed on the side ofopening 11A in the optical path from display device 12 to opening 11A.Reflection surface 13A of first mirror 13 that reflects the imagedisplayed on display device 12 has the convex shape of the free-formsurface, and reflection surface 14A of second mirror 14 that projectsthe image to the display member has the concave shape of the free-formsurface. First mirror 13 and second mirror 14 are disposed so as tosatisfy 0.2<D12/Lv<1.3. Where Lv is the length in the longitudinaldirection of virtual image 40, and D12 is the interval between firstmirror 13 and second mirror 14 in the center optical path.

Therefore, user 30 can visually perceive sufficiently large virtualimage 40 in small-size display unit 10 having the small interval betweenfirst mirror 13 and second mirror 14. An increase in curvature of thesecond mirror 14 can be restrained, and a screen distortion of virtualimage 40 can easily be corrected. That is, in the exemplary embodiment,downsizing of display unit 10 can be provided.

In the present technology, the screen distortion generated in windshield 22 that is the display member having the predetermined curvaturecan be corrected well. Therefore, the screen distortion is decreased inthe virtual image of the image formed on the opposite side to the userside of the display member, and the user can visually perceive thevirtual image without sensing an uncomfortable feeling.

In display unit 10 of the present technology, desirably reflectionsurface 13A of first mirror 13 has a rotationally asymmetric convexshape. Therefore, the screen distortion can be corrected well over thewhole user's viewpoint region. Desirably reflection surface 13A of firstmirror 13 has the convex shape in the horizontal direction. Therefore,the curvature in the horizontal direction of reflection surface 14A ofsecond mirror 14 can be increased and the display apparatus can bedownsized.

In the exemplary embodiment, by way of example, reflection surface 13Aof first mirror 13 has the convex shape of the free-form surface.Alternatively, reflection surface 13A may be formed by a toroidalsurface having a convex shape in the horizontal direction. As usedherein, the toroidal surface means an aspherical shape in which thehorizontal direction differs from the perpendicular direction orthogonalto the horizontal direction in the curvature.

Rotationally asymmetric reflection surface 13A of first mirror 13 mayhave a shape in which the X-axis direction differs from the Y-axisdirection in the curvature as illustrated in FIG. 12.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory view illustrating an example of the mirror inwhich the reflection surface is the free-form surface. As illustrated inFIG. 13, the reflection surface which is the free-form surface isdefined as follows.

Assuming that reference longitudinal curve F1 and reference crosswisecurve F2 pass through optical axis C of the center optical path of theimage, reflection surface F has reflecting regions θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4having different curvatures with a point at which reference longitudinalcurve F1 intersects reference crosswise curve F2 as a boundary.
